Les Lumieres de Noelle






These are all a little blurry coz I was playing with my night photography setting! The first is an art installation in the Place in front of the Mairie (town hall) of the 4th Arrondisement in Paris - the trees in the last shot are in the same Place.

The blue lights and carousel are in St. Maur des Fosses, on our main street leading to the Mairie - Avenue Charles de Gaulle (there are MANY Avenues Charles de Gaulle here in France).

The one with the market and the red and yellow sails, is a Christmas Market in Paris, in the 4th or 5th Arrondisement. Throughout Paris, there are markets set up with gourmet produce from all across France. This one had Foie Gras (very serious traditional food at Christmastime here) from the Perigord, Saussison from the Pyrenees, wine, wine, wine from all over, beer from Corsica, spice cake from ?? I can't remember. Yummy!

These pictures are spectacular, how beautiful. I've been able to get into you blog easily because I added it to "favorites". I thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn't get in with your shortcut!

Have a great Christmas - love all the updates.

Your friends and "neighbors"

Love,
Bill & Sandy
